HELP adding entries to MAN_PROC [message #795] Wed, 03 February 1993 12:47

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO ADD ENTRIES TO IDL'S ON LINE HELP PROGRAM, MAN_PROC?


We have a created a directory $IDL/ourlib containing IDL programs used
by our group. I would like to add the DOC_LIBRARY descriptions of these files to
MAN_PROC. I have determined that MAN_PROC calls MP_WIDGETS, which scans the
$IDL/help directory for "*.help" files. Each ".help" file generates a category
of help topics in the widget. The format of these files is clear, but not trivial
to generate.
Is there a program in the IDL distribution which scans a directory and
constructs a ".help" file? This appears to be all I would need to add descriptions
of our "home-made" programs to the HELP widget.

Any response greatly appreciated.
